Context

“Or that persuasion could but thus convince me That my integrity and truth to you Might be affronted with the match and weight Of such a winnowed purity in love. How were I then uplifted! But, alas,
I am as true as truth's simplicity, And simpler than the infancy of truth. CRESSIDA. In that I'll war with you.
TROILUS. O virtuous fight,
When right with right wars who shall be most right! True swains in love shall in the world to come Approve their truth by Troilus, when their rhymes,” source
